Clad in a flowing purple fairy-like dress with white gauze brushing against her face, a pair of light purple eyes rippled with waves, gracefully touching the ground. When the woman saw Little squirrel, her proud eyes burst into joy, “Little thing, you finally came.” “Chirp chirp” The previously fluffed-up Little squirrel, upon seeing the woman, uttered a delighted sound. Then, with a “swoosh,” it burrowed into the woman’s ample softness and nuzzled for a moment. Then it looked up, its glossy black eyes brimming with tears, emitting a sorrowful whimpering sound. “It’s okay now, all’s well.” The woman gently stroked the little one’s head, her face brimming with a smile, then glanced around and asked with a touch of surprise and concern: “I asked you to take the lantern to the Yan, Yun, Fang Family to find someone to help me escape this trap. Did you find anyone? And what’s going on here?” Hearing this, Little squirrel leapt onto the woman’s shoulder, hands on hips, and gesturing with its paws while chirping animatedly, as if sharing some grievances. The woman, upon hearing this, first furrowed her brows, then sighed deeply through her eyes. “So you made your way here alone, braving mountains and rivers with this lantern? You’ve had a tough time, but even I can’t leave this place, you shouldn’t have come.” Little squirrel jumped up and down, pointing towards Huwa, who was changing into a small donkey, and White Fox. The woman responded with a laugh mixed with tears, “Are these your helpers?” Little squirrel shook its head, its plump furry paw gesturing and chirping. Grimacing at one moment, and scratching its cheeks the next. It seemed to be describing a fearsome and diabolical character. The woman raised her eyebrow. “You’re saying there’s a fierce person with great skills? At that moment, the White Fox on the back of the donkey yelped. Its throat stirred, and word by word, as if learning to speak, it uttered raw syllables. “Mi...ster, Moun...tain...Pat...rol...Col...onel...will come...” With a flash, the woman moved in front of the White Fox, “Little fox, are you saying a Mountain Patrol Military Officer is coming?” White Fox quickly nodded its head. But the woman’s face showed a hint of disappointment and she shook her head, “The Mountain Patrol Military Officer, usually at the Profound Body Realm, it’s uncertain if they can even board the ship.” “And now this place, uncontrolled with more and more dying, with demonic thoughts filling the air—even though there are plenty of insights left by predecessors for enlightenment, some Demon Heads come to cut off the Tao. To leave here, we must open the Fourth Heavenly Barrier, but that is easier said than done.” As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly, in the midst of the dark foggy night, a dull thud sounded. “Thud” “Thud” “Thud” Then, increasingly rapid. The woman’s face changed, listening, these were knocking sounds. And these sounds, gathering in the night, were as dull as beating drums. “What is happening here, how can there be so many living people? Trouble, those demonic thoughts will be attracted here, we must stop them quickly.” As she spoke, pink petals swirled up around the woman, wrapping up the three little ones. With a swoosh, they plunged into the fog. Little did they know, it was the lantern she had left behind that caused this anomaly. “Boom” “Boom” “Boom” Somewhere in a Contemplation Space, a range of mountains extends amidst white mist, encircled on three sides. The mountains roared. Rocks shattered. Several mountain tops, dozens of feet high, continuously flew up into the air. And smashed down towards a giant shadow over thirty feet tall. The roaring was ceaseless. The giant shadow bellowed, the air around shaking the mountains and rivers, ceaselessly pounding its fists, shattering the massive boulders. The momentum was terrifying! Just then. A silver gleam burst forth from the shattered rocks. From a flickering star to dazzling splendor. Like a meteor in the long night of ancient times. Shooting towards the giant shadow. “Roar” The giant shadow let out an earth-shaking roar. Its enormous hand burst with light, and with a strong push. At that moment, a tempest howled. A figure leaped into the void, like a meteor chasing the moon, its body thundering. “Break for me!” With a roar, the figure wielded a silver spear, its brilliance reaching its peak. The two figures, large and small, collided in midair with a thunderous impact. “Boom” A booming sound echoed. A dazzling and blinding light burst forth in an instant. In the distance, atop a mountain peak, stood two figures. One was an old monk with long white eyebrows, his face sorrowful and blood-stained, sitting cross-legged on the ground. The other was a young man in black, his figure sharp like a blade, with a Sword Box on his back, his aura somewhat disordered. Squinting, both of them watched the blinding light expanding outward and the wild rolling of the air waves. “Amitabha Buddha, this Clan Leader Chen, not knowing whom he seeks to rescue, has not rested throughout his journey and has already broken through numerous barriers. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous it becomes. This old monk does not know if he can continue to persevere.” The old monk with long eyebrows uttered a chant, his eyes filled with concern. The young man in black, however, did not glance at him, his gaze fixed intently on the battlefield, “He’s very strong!” “Does this mean you plan to continue following him?” inquired the Old Monk Bai Mei, glancing at the young man in black. “This man was able to break through the Sword Heart that has trapped me for so long; why should I hesitate to follow? In the company of three, there must be my teacher.” Having said this, the young man fell silent. Because on the battlefield, the light began to scatter. The outcome was decided. The giant shadow dissipated inch by inch and with a tremor, turned into specks of light disappearing into the mist. Vanishing along with it was the stretch of mountains. On the battlefield, a figure descended. Revealing Chen Yuan’s form. He raised his hand, And a silver spear dimmed its glow. More cracks had appeared on it. This spear imbued with the True Intent of the Taoist Soldier could only sustain a few more uses, at best. At this moment, the Mud Ball trembled. “Slaying the projection of the Divine Ability User’s Tao Heart earned Luck Points +37” Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered, not dwelling on it, and instead looked ahead. He sensed that he was getting closer and closer to the Contracted Demon. Just then, two figures appeared beside him. Without wasting words, Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed sharply. “Both of you, I still need to rescue someone. The path ahead might be even more perilous. Are you willing to continue together?” From behind the young man in black, his Sword Box let out a Sword sound. Sword Intent soared into the sky. His whole being resembled an unparalleled sharp sword. That was his answer. “Amitabha Buddha.” The Old Monk Bai Mei chanted the Buddha’s name once more and remained silent. “Ha ha!” Chen Yuan laughed wildly, his eyes gleaming bright. “Good!” “It’s my life’s fortune to make the acquaintance of you both.” “Let’s go!” Saying this, he turned into a roaring gust of wind and whooshed into the depths of the fog. The two behind him displayed their Divine Skills. Buddha Beads soared through the air. Sword Qi resounded loudly. They followed. After an unknown period, The gale that Chen Yuan transformed into halted amidst the deep mist. “We’re here!” He sensed the marks of Little Squirrel and White Fox nearby. Or rather, below! In an instant, silver light blasted forth from Chen Yuan’s eyes, Two beams of silver light shot downward into the white mist. “Heart Eye Skill!” The Old Monk Bai Mei, who had followed and halted behind him, wore a look of shock. Among the Five Eyes and Six Spiritual Powers spoken of by the Buddhist sects, each and every Divine Skill was exceptional. He had not expected this man to have achieved one. Just then, as the silver beams shot into the mist below, The mist churned like melting snow. A pitch-black hole was revealed. Chen Yuan looked down, his eyes suddenly ablaze with silver flashes, Beneath the high sky was a city! Within the city were the lights of thousands of homes, But what roamed the streets were shadows upon shadows of demons. Screams rose in alarm. Chen Yuan’s eyes flared with rage, his hand gave a flick. A silver spear landed in his grasp. Suddenly he cast it downward! In an instant, Against the black night sky, A silver meteor, As if cutting through the endless ancient night, Plunged furiously towards the city below!
